Capitalists thrive largely because they do not think and act like Socialists.
Socialists think they fail because Capitalists don't think as they do.
Any society that demands ideological obedience at the expense of an individual's own interests is destined for war and will eventually fail. Oppressive government mandates can calcify communities for decades, but individuals acting in their own interests will ultimately prevail in their causes.
Socialists think wealth is bad and governments should basically take care of most everything important. Capitalists believe that most things are too important to leave to government and wealth is simply a tool to be created as needed.
Almost anyone of sound mind and body can create wealth...unless they are expecting a government to do it for them, then it's a thin draw and they will probably end up being poor socialists instead of prosperous, Free citizens.
Be Free, make your own destiny and learn from bad decisions so you stop making bad decisions. Liberty requires responsibility and personally, responsible actions offer rewards in Freedom & Prosperity.
